Trump’s statements about Greenland
The head of the White House has repeatedly spoke about the desire to take Greenland under US control. Speaking in the White House, he said that to ensure international security, Greenland must belong to the United States. “
Trump expressed concern that Russian and Chinese vessels are freely moving throughout Greenland, adding that the United States cannot rely on Denmark or anyone else in this matter.
Meanwhile, US Vice President Jay Di Wence, who visited Greenland with his wife Vance’s ears, Minister of Energy Chris Wright and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, said that Denmark’s authorities would not “invest” in the security of the island.
“As you know, this is a major problem that will only grow over the years. We must strengthen their presence in Greenland,” said Vance.
He also expressed confidence that the Greenland people “will ultimately support the US desire to establish control over the island,” and it will be possible to do this without the use of force.
